TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Medipacs, Inc., a Tucson based drug
delivery device company announces today the company has been selected to
present at the Invest Southwest Capital Conference to be held in Scottsdale,
AZ on December 10 and 11, 2008.

One of only 12 companies to present at the conference, Medipacs was
selected from 84 submissions in a variety of high-tech fields. "Generally
speaking, (the businesses) have to be highly scalable and highly defensible"
said Dave Bittner, this year's conference chairman.

Medipacs was founded in 2004 by Mark Banister, a career entrepreneur and
was awarded several grants from the National Science Foundation and Science
Foundation of Arizona which helped advance fundamentally new polymer science
to the point of attracting investor attention. Medipacs' novel polymer gel
expands to multiples of its original size. This large expansion ratio occurs
precisely and rapidly which enables a variety of practical, low cost drug
delivery devices to be used for administering small volume Parenteral (SVP)
drugs. According to recent studies, SVP drugs are often implicated in drug
delivery errors that extend hospital stays and increase variable costs and
Medipacs devices are aimed at reducing many of these errors with its novel
delivery systems.

Since June 2007, the company has raised $1.7M from Mesa Verde Ventures, a
seed stage venture firm specializing in medical device start-ups in San Diego,
CA, and from angel investors in Tucson, San Diego and Washington DC. Mark
McWilliams, CEO of Medipacs, has been the co-founder of two drug delivery
device companies which brought new drug delivery technologies to market. He
has also developed devices and systems serving other medical fields.
